General Informationen
The subject of biology covers an enormous range of topics and methods. This ranges from molecular structures such as DNA and RNA to proteins and cells, from visible tissues and organs to organ systems and multicellular organisms and populations or entire ecosystems. The entire spectrum is researched at LMU on microorganisms, plants, fungi, animals and humans at various levels. Biology at LMU Munich is divided into the departments of Anthropology and Human Genetics, Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Human Biology and Bioimaging, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Ecology, Plant Sciences, Systematic Botany and Mycology, Systematic Zoology / Zoology and Cell and Developmental Biology.
Biology is one of the leading sciences of the 21st century and acts as a bridge to other natural and human sciences such as medicine, physics, chemistry, geology and geography. Biology at LMU Munich is one of the largest biology faculties in Germany. Students also benefit from the close proximity to neighboring research centers of the Max Planck Institutes for Biochemistry and Neurobiology as well as the unique links with the Bavarian State Natural Science Collections and the Munich-Nymphenburg Botanical Gardens.
This page contains information on the course structure. Information on applying can be found under the heading Before your studies / Application information / Application - Pre-registration.
The Bachelor's degree program is currently offered in two examination and study regulations.
- Start from Wintersemester 2020/2021 with the first semester
- Start before Wintersemester 2020/2021 with the first semester

The Bachelor's degree program in Biology provides a common education for all students during the foundation courses (semester 1 to 3), which imparts a broad foundational knowledge. In the orientation course (semesters 4 to 6), students choose between the molecular cellular, organismic, or biochemical tracks. The main language of instruction is German.
